    Anything!
    Put him to any other snake in the Leucistic complex to make leucys. Like lesser, mojo, Russo.

    Or to any other morph to create awesome combos. Lesser is more! It makes everything look great

    Breeding these animals is addicting.
    Please research everything your gonna need to prepare for the entire process thru and thru. The care of the parents during and after.
    The care the little worms are gonna need and housing.

    I only say this because I was overly excited my first time pairing and when they came, I was not ready for the hatchlings. But luckily was able to quickly get all I needed
    It's a tough gig and very rewarding.
    Just wanna make sure you prepare yourself.

    Happy hunting for the female that will make you a killer lesser combo.

    Fyi I would do what I'm shooting for next season..

    Bumble bees are at a great low price right now.. Check out what a queen Bee looks like.. Be careful, and I fell in love with them after I saw one in person.

    Lessser is a co-dominate trait. Essentially you can pair him to anything and produce more lessers, and double gene lesser animals. Pair him to a double gene co-dom ball and you can produce a triple gene animal, and so on and so forth.

    You can pair the lesser to another lesser, a butter, or a mojave and get a Blue Eyed Leucistic.

    These are some of my favorite 2 gene co-dominate Lesser Pairings:

    - Lesser Bee (lesser x spider)
    - Lesser Pastel
    - Kingpin (Lesser x pinstripe)
    - Black Pastel Lesser
    - Fire Lesser
    - Enchi Lesser
    - Desert Lesser

    That's just the tip of the ice burg. These are my all time favorite Lesser Pairings:

    - Banana Lesser ($$$$$)
    - Quint (Pastel x Black Pastel x Lesser x Pinstripe x Spider)
    - Lesser Pastel Spotnose
    - Calico Lesser Bee
    - Calico Lesser Super Pastel
    - Fire Fly lesser (Fire x Pastel x Lesser)

    Another thing that is seldom mentioned in regards to breeding is "What am I gonna do with all the babies?" Try and make some connections with shop owners, reptile or pet, other breeders etc. Of course, do your research on husbandry, incubation, and everything else involved. Good luck.
